NEWMEN GM326 Mechanical Keyboard,Wired Gaming Keyboard,75% Percent Keyboard

The backlighting is heavily customisable its very tactile and the switches sound so nice and the volume knob is made out of solid metal definatelly worth the buy 100% value for our money its evenly weighted and is perfect doesnt slip around at all the typing experience is fantastic this keyboard is a steal

I bought this keyboard not expecting much, and I've honestly been blown away so far.Out of the box, it didn't sound fantastic (very clacky and hollow sounding) but the switches felt relatively nice to type on, although they do come unlubed (the stabilisers are lubed however). The LED backlight is quite nice, it's not addressable LEDs so if thats something you care about you may want to look elsewhere, but the colouring is nice and gives off an almost pastel colour. The case is quite easy to open, there are three clasps on the front and back holding the two pieces together so its incredibly moddable if you're into modding your keyboard, although I'm yet to figure out how to take the knob off so plate foam may be out of the question. Overall it's good straight out of the box, if a little clacky.Now onto modding (keyboard enthusiasts, this section is for you). To mod this keyboard, i added several layers of PVC tape to the underside of the motherboard, added some foam and blue tac (to emulate silicone) in the case itself, and lubed the switches since they are 100% hot swappable, although some of the hot swap sockets are rather tight so they required a little more force. With these mods, the keyboard easily sounds like a £80 keyboard. I also added some foam to the space bar which really helped it thock. If you're after a relatively cheap keyboard thats easy to mod, I really don't think you can go wrong with this one. It is important to note, however, that this board only supports 3-pin switches, so you may have to clip any 5-pin switches if you wish to use them.Overall, the keyboard sounds amazing after a couple of mods, and I can imagine it would sound like an enthusiast grade keyboard with a little bit of modding and some nicer switches and keycaps. Lubing the stock switches does improve the sound greatly, but higher quality switches would definitely take it to a new level.

Bought this to upgrade my working from home set up - have been using a Logitech membrane-based keyboard since 2020 but as I need to write several 1000+ word reports each week having something with a bit more ‘travel’ in the keys was really desirable. This keyboard at around £20 seemed really reasonable as a first foray into a mechanical keyboard plus its design, compact, rectangular and white sets it apart from other low-cost ‘gaming’ keyboards that look all seem to be shaped like the outer armour (black, spikey) of yet another Marvel villain rather than something attractive for a home office.Pros and ConsPros:- Fast, responsive typing.- MacOS/Windows keyboard toggle a positive- Volume dial great addition, works in Teams calls.- Lots of rainbow lighting options if needed (I didn’t buy it for it but nice to have)- Nicely packaged, clear instructions in several languagesCons- As a UK user to note it is laid out like a MacBook so @/“ keys are reversed, obviously you OS software setting will work but you might miss the £ symbol for example.- the location of a few other keys are a bit tricky to get used to - arrow keys and delete aren’t where you’d fully expect so I ended up pressing ‘home’/‘insert’ a lot on first use.- it’s definitely not a ‘premium’ mechanical keyboard in use, it feels a little bit ‘lighter’ than you’d expect but for £20 that’s understandable.- lighting options seem to be commonplace on gaming keyboards these days, and it is easier with LEDs to have every colour, but a simple ‘on/off’ white/blueish backlight would have been preferable alongside needing to run through 20 options of swoops/swirling lights etc!Overall:I don’t regret this purchase which has helped improve my typing speed at home and this is a great, affordable addition to my home office.

Great keyboard, backlit keys help in the dark. I didn’t realise how much it helps, but even to the volume wheel, it helps keeping everything fast and clean especially when gaming. It’s Stable and for the price it’s an awesome keyboard

I bought this new keyboard (the white one at the front in the video) because I'm currently running 2 computers whilst switching from old to new, and needed to make my life easier instead of keep switching my 8 year old reliable Razr model back and forth.As soon as the new keyboard arrived, I unboxed it, plugged it in, and was excited to see how pretty it looked, with the backlit keys etc. I started typing on WhatsApp (on the web) to a friend telling them about said new keyboard, when it opened up a new tab. I assumed I'd just pressed something by mistake, but it went on to do this and also open new windows, opened up Facebook on my browser, highlighted my whole screen, opened up a window to add a file to my WhatsApp chat and finally kept pressing random keys without me doing anything.I came back here to read other reviews and found other people had similar issues, either out of the box, or within several months, and one person I note even had a fire risk! I've now started a return with Amazon, which is a shame, because it looks great, it's the right size what what I was looking for, it connected up to my PC fine with the USB C cable, and it wasn't expensive at £19.99. However, being disabled it is a real mission for me to have to now take this item down to the post office and deal with the return. I probably wont buy another one from Amazon due to this.

For the price, I’m really impressed with this keyboard. It worked straight out of the box with no issues, all of the keys work perfectly and the RGB lighting is nice and bright. It feels well made for the price point and is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable gaming keyboard or something to just start out, however, I am only giving it 3 stars because you can’t change the RGB colours to something solid or at all for that matter despite it having downloadable software, which is a quite disappointing. The keyboard is also quite loud and has a very noticeable mechanical sound. The space bar in particular is especially loud compared to the other keys I think this particularly lets the keyboard down.The general look of the keyboard is sleek and well made, it reminds me of some other very expensive brands that I own however the rgb and the sound does take away from the aesthetics.Overall though, for the price, I think it’s decent and I’d recommend it if you don’t mind a louder mechanical keyboard where the rgb lights are not changeable, I would also recommend for a child's gaming setup or for someone just starting out or using the keyboard primarily for work or office use.
